That's correct.  The grabber interface is designed such that the scripts 
only need return a simple format, rather than understand the database 
schema natively, to insert the response directly.  The frontend takes 
the output from the grabber and handles all database operations.

Of course it is.  If the batch lookup fails once, logic would suggest it 
will fail on the next attempt too.
